There is more to a computer file than just the username of the DUer who posts it and the content of its text. I don't know what a shared file from DU to social media would contain regarding the computer/account information associated with the original posting from my computer to DU.

Is this a new level of risk, or is it the same old risk?

I would say, the same old risk because before our posts could go to FB and Twitter, too EFerrari Dec 2011 #14

Very good post, and some of my concerns, too. HuskiesHowls Dec 2011 #7
